It didn't really seem necessary because everyone was pretty badass just to be able to survive in the world that the audience was shown right off the bat. And the arm was fully functional as far as I could tell so it really didn't have any aspect of a debilitation. I mean maybe the whole thing is a subconscious shortcut and I'm just an idiot, but either way it was good and I waited way too long to see it. darkhand has a new favorite as of 07:32 on Sep 27, 2015 |

Right now all I can think is the credits rolled and the movie ended with literally 'I fought the law and the law won' I can't think of a less appropriate capper to that movie. My favorite part of that movie is when there's like a wanted murderer in the crowd in front of the police station during Robocop's unveiling or whatever. What the gently caress is that guy doing there?

Immortan Joe discarded anything and anyone that wasn't useful to him, the whole point of the movie was 'we are not things' and also Furiosa releasing her homemade prosthetic was what finally brought down the evil fucker.

The third ending of Clue is so much more elaborate than the first two that it would have been a shame to miss it when the movie came out. The second ending where all the murders are committed by the one person is just too straight-forward.

It almost bothers me that this bothers me, because the film's such a masterpiece of comedy and craft, but it bothers me. In _Young Frankenstein_, Froderick seemingly fails to reanimate the creature, and gives a little speech about how science teaches us to accept our failures with quiet dignity and grace, shortly before completely losing his poo poo. Restraining him, Igor asides to the camera "Quiet dignity and grace" and rolls his eyes. It's the biggest  ever.

In the prequel comics, they did establish that any woman that Immortan's War Boys capture are kept and he tries to get them pregnant three times. If they fail to get pregnant or produce a son, he kicks them out. I assume the ones who can still produce milk get used for the milk farm, but any others are presumably then fair game for the War Boys. It also establishes that this is what had happened to Furiosa, and she went on to become an Imperator.

Why is it sometimes the famous guest stars on Friends get like 15 seconds of applause and other times there is no acknowledgement by the audience? Brad Pitt and Tom selleck get applauded when they show up while Susan Sarandon and Gary oldman and Jason Alexander aren't given anything. loving disgusting.

The friendship would certainly be pushed, but there's a long way between "this is cheesing me off why bother spending all of this poo poo" and "I'm drawing the line and refusing further help for one of my main trading partners from whom I trade a vital resource".

I wouldn't mind full-size Fairy godmothers and those women can act better than the CG versions of them did. But it wasn't horrible or anything. Inzombiac posted:A lesser villain would have gotten distracted that Nux lost his chrome revolver. Instead he jabs him emotionally and speeds up to take care of business. Joe is a loving rad villian. Because Joe is a loving rad villain and he rules over the bullet farm and the gas refinery? They were upset about it the whole time, they didn't want to. They had to. Memento posted:Water. The Citadel is probably the only way to get access to the Great Artesian Basin. So they need to keep Joe on side, even if it means burning through resources. The friendship would certainly be pushed, but there's a long way between "this is cheesing me off why bother spending all of this poo poo" and "I'm drawing the line and refusing further help for one of my main trading partners from whom I trade a vital resource". One of the few things that bothered me about Mad Max was the way they handled the Citadel water thing. So you've got this massive facility growing plants and stuff to process water, okay sure I can totally buy that and you didn't go into so much detail as to make it seem impossible. But then he gives them a bit of water, most of it splashes into the sand, and then he turns it off and says "do not become addicted to water!" etc. Which is SUPER hardcore and makes you feel how post-apocalypse this is, but ... it just doesn't seem sustainable to me. They need more water. If you don't have much, maybe build like a little bucket at the bottom so it doesn't all go splashing on the dirt and sand and gets wasted? Its like in Waterworld. Kevin Costner's character trades all this stuff and buys a little bit of clean water. Other people make it seem like they're really thirsty and want some water and can't afford it. How do you live like that for very long at all? Like I can imagine a world where a bottle of water costs like $20 and its really expensive for everybody. But they go too far and make it seem like a bottle of water is $200 or $2000, at that point wouldn't everybody go bakrupt and die of thirst in like, a month? How is that possibly sustainable? In Mad Max they have the mothers' milk I guess, so is the idea they just get all their water from milk and food? Have they mutated to live in desert climates and have more efficient kidneys or something? Am I overthinking this? Definitely. But still, it just didn't seem totally sustainable to me. Like Immortan Joe needs to give them a bit more water or everybody will just die. There's too many people. I guess that's part of the idea, the war boys get to live but everybody else is just slowly dying of thirst? Its not like we're seeing the beginning of the Citadel though. This has been going on for years and years. Furiosa had time to become Imparator. Seems to me like most people would have long since died of thirst, the population wouldn't be sustainable and it'd slowly die down to just Joe and his Warboys unless he actually started giving out more water. Not to mention, have people just never heard of a still?  If you're that desperate for water its not hard to build one with a stick and a tarp, you can pee in it and then come back the next day and drink the pure water.

Hey, for all we know, that's what they do. Seems like even more of an incentive to fight your neighbor for a few gulps of non-piss water every once in a while, if anything.

Yeah, I guess that works. Piss-water couldn't sustain you forever because you'd get diminishing returns, so it could be a combination of piss water + mother's milk + some fresh water from Joe here and there. This is where the movie not explaining too much works in its benefit.

If I remember the backstory, the other generals are in their positions of power because Joe confers those positions upon them after the water wars, and so they're really indebted to him. Plus, as a trading partner, they wouldn't want to piss him off. So I imagine that's why they sent so many resources after these women to try to please him.

And they are making more produce than his army could go through. I'm sure that Joe doles out water and food on a regular basis but in small quantities. Otherwise all the people would leave.

If it can cleanse piss, it can cleanse sea water. Yeah I honestly really enjoy Waterworld and think most people are waaaaaaay too hard on it and way too soft on a bunch of lovely un-creative hollywood works, but that part of the plot makes no drat sense at all. Build a drat still, pour some ocean water in it, wait a day, you've got a whole bucket of water. Do that every day and you're fine! Plus you probably also end up with seasalt? I dunno if it'd be good for eating or whatever but you could probably use it for science or medicine or something. Food is a much bigger problem and you can mostly just fish. Its also pretty silly that everybody hated on Kevin Costner when he could literally be their savior, being able to survive swimming down to the land and collecting it so he could sell it to them so they could grow some crops is like one of the only ways people could survive long-term. Taking advantage of his gills they could have built a utopia, but because they were all mutation-phobic they screwed themselves over. Except that part actually makes sense, because people are lovely like that. Light Gun Man posted:I like to imagine the Bullet Farmer and everyone are also bored as poo poo most days because it's the post-apocalypse so participating in a badass car war probably sounds like a good time. Yeah, that's the other side of it. Like "Hey, Joe's going to war, whats happening? lets go find out!" In the original Mad Max you really got the impression that with the world gone to poo poo, the criminals were just bored and once left lawless, they were just doing whatever stupid poo poo they came up with to pass the time and ignore the apocalypse. And then in Thunderdome you see how far that can really go, with the thunderdome itself being a form of apocalyptic entertainment. But then as they started to lose men they turned on Joe and wanted to go back home instead. It makes sense to me.

Bullet farmer literally says "I've come for the torture!". Most of the other goons in Immoratans army would be motivated to bring the wives back to improve their own status (look how giddy Nux gets at the concept of appeasing Immortan Joe). Bullet Farmer on the other hand sees himself as some wasteland Judge Dredd and wants to utterly annihilate her and anyone in the way. Joe actually has to warn him to be careful about the wives.
